I've suffered with migraines since I was about 10 years old (so for 14 years). I don't get the more severe aura migraines but I do get a lot of them (it used to be 2 per week). I'm on various types of preventative medicines from my doctor and I also have a prescription medicine for curing my migraines. I'm quite forgetful and so often don't have my tablets when I get a headache, usually because I've forgotten to order the prescription! I've always been skeptical about over the counter migraine medicine because the other ones I've tried haven't even touched them. I was very skeptical when I heard about these but the doctor recommended them to me so I thought I'd ...  Read the complete review

Only those who have suffered a migraine truly understands what it's like and it is infuriating to hear someone else refer to a bad headache as a migraine. A migraine can wipe you out completely for around 48 hours and only affects around 15% of the UK's population, however that still translates into around 6 million people.

When Imigran first came on the scene, various friends raved about it so I asked the doctor for some. What a revelation! If I take one at the onset of what I can tell is going to be a real nasty, within half an hour my head's back to normal. Best taken early on, but I still find they work on me even when it's a full-blown ...  Read the complete review

Once an infrequent migraine sufferer brought on by extreme tiredness, I became a frequent sufferer last October following a medically managed miscarriage. This culminated in a large migraine lasting 4 days, with nausea and then ultimately sickness back in June. On this last incident I went to the doctors and was prescribed Imigran, the brand name of sumatriptan succinate. Tablet and Pack Sizes and Price Imigran is available in two sizes 50mg and 100mg sizes. Each box contains 6 tablets.
